If you find it difficult to use a mouse to navigate around the page, you can follow these steps as a substitute to using your mouse:
If you find the text on this site is too small or too large, you can change it easily in your browser settings. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then Larger/Largest or Smaller/Smallest.
If you use Mozilla Firefox, go to the View menu, select Text Size and choose Increase or Decrease.
Changing the site's background colour can be particularly useful for users who rely on magnification technology as white can produce an uncomfortable glare. It is also possible to change the colour of body text on the site.
Both can be achieved by changing preferences in your browser:
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the Tools menu, select Internet Options, select Colours and make changes to text and background colours in the Colours panel.
For users of Mozilla Firefox, go to the Tools menu, select Options, open Fonts and Colours. You can make changes to Fonts and background colours and link colours.
If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, open the Appearance menu and select Colours. You can set the colour of text and background from here.
If you wish to have text only you can follow the 'text only' in the upper right-hand corner of any page. This will switch to using a text only version of the resource. The information remains the same but is presented without any layout graphics.
